Please read IHA’s Privacy Policy, which along with any additional terms you agree to pursuant to this Agreement or by turning on specific features, are included as part of this Agreement. If you do not agree to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you do not have any right to use the Site or Services.

BY USING THE SITE AND SERVICES, YOU ARE ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS AGREEMENT, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE SITE OR SERVICES AND EXIT IMMEDIATELY. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MODIFY OR AMEND THIS AGREEMENT FROM TIME TO TIME, AT WHICH TIME WE WILL PROVIDE NOTICE TO YOU ON THE SITE OR OTHER MECHANISM.

You will: (a) provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself and your business as prompted by the Services (“Registration Data”), and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current, and complete.
